The project methodology used in this work, took place from adaptations of Péon’s studies (2009) and Phillips (2008) in a way to meet the needs of a stamping project. The practical development axis of this work includes the creation of six printed textiles through the method of printing by sublimation. The pieces were developed for the brand Curiô, being this created by the authors for academic purposes. Lastly, it was produced prototypes of some pieces, in order to present the application of the developed prints in finalised products.
